*This pic is from the day before his bday, at his friend Victoria's princess party!
Owen hit two on Sunday and hasn't stopped. He is 29 pounds of love and curiousity, wrapped up in a 37 inch body with mischievous eyes and a gleeful smile. Owen loves all things with wheels, garbage trucks and buses topping the list. He has been very aware of and careful around cars for the past several months, always moving out of the way on the cul de sac and noticing cars (or cars similar to those) of loved ones and neighbors while driving out and about. He comments on trucks and if we hear one outside while at home, everything stops and we go running for a view. He has seen several up close, and we decided to celebrate his big day with cake in our newly remodeled garage on Sunday afternoon. A cake-making friend made a garbage truck cake, and daddy made "dirt" and "sand" cake in a couple of toy dump trucks. Several friends and neighbors joined us to share O's special day!
Owen is talking up a storm. He has a vocabulary of probably 80-100 words (or more) and speaks in 3-5 word sentences like "Help me clean this up." and "I eat now." He uses phrases like "over there", "I go again" and several words are spanish only, including "agua", "uvas", and "dos" When you ask him how old he is turning, he says "dos". I am going to make a concerted effort to use at least 80% spanish with him this summer because he is just at the right spot for it, repeating words and phrases all the time to hear how they sound to him. He is always listening, which daddy and I need to remember! Haha! We love you big boy Owen and are excited for a fun summer with you.
